You may have to pick up on a few missing items such as hazmat training or gas training (CO gas) or possibly even some industrial fire techniques but you have enough to get you in the front door. The only real problem is time. How long will it be until a job opens up? But the best you can do is start seeking as soon as you get out.<br><b>References : </b><br> It shouldn’t be too hard because you already have the training and the certificates to show as proof of training.

You would have to wait for the Fire Department to have an open position and go through the written test/physical test with all the other applicants. I think you would get preference points because of your military experience, however, it is not a guarantee that you would get hired.<br><b>References : </b><br> You can’t just transfer into a Fire Department.
